Top Ten Reasons To Miss About Hit Show "Glee"

After nearly six years, Glee is finally saying goodbye. The characters we used to love and hate, as
well as laugh and cry with, will soon be singing their swan songs. But before
the curtains close, let us remind ourselves of the things that make the hit show
enjoyable, lovable and unforgettable through all these years and beyond.

Sue Sylvester and other iconic characters.
Glee has indeed created some of TV’s most intriguing and undeniably memorable
characters. The first in this list is cheering team coach Sue Sylvester who is
comically brutal and evil, but at times has moments of softness and compassion.
And who else could forget Becky Jackson and her wild tantrums? And of course,
New Direction’s inspiring coach Will Schuester, self-centered soloist Rachel
Berry, belter Mercedes Jones, queen bee Quinn Fabray, Latina bitch Santana
Lopez, stupid Brittany S. Pierce, and many more.

“Don’t Stop Believing” and other theme
songs. Every Glee episode is jam-packed with countless songs, with their
roster ranging from Broadway music, to classic songs, to modern pop. Some of
them become totally associated with the characters singing them, and some
become everybody else’s life’s songs. The song “Teenage Dream” is not only
associated with singer Katy Perry anymore, but with Glee’s Blaine Anderson. There
is also Rachel Berry and “Don’t Rain On My Parade” which she had been singing
since five but which she choked on in an audition. And there is “Defying
Gravity” for Kurt Hummel, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” for Mercedes
Jones, and not to forget, “Don’t Stop
Believing” for the New Directions.

“ Halo/Walking on Sunshine” and other
powerful mash-ups. As the hit show
mostly dealt with songs, it is no wonder that Glee came up with several
beautiful mash-up music. This list includes Hair/Crazy in Love, Stop! In the
Name of Love/Free Your Mind, Thriller/Head Will Roll, and I Feel
Pretty/Unpretty.

Becky’s “Bitch!” rants and other solid
punch lines. Other than music, Glee also has tons of witty dialogues and
right-on-spot one-liners. Who could forget Becky’s countless rants with the
“bitch,” “asshole,” or “whore” in the end? And when she became cheerleader, she
just overflowed with confidence with this thought in her head: “I, Becky Faye
Jackson, am the hottest bitch at McKinley High School. There is also Santana
and her endless, angry blabber. And of course, Brittany and her geniusly stupid
remarks, Sugar Motta and her no-holds-bar talks, and Sue’s burning daily
sermons.

Sue
vs. New Directions, Rachel vs. Quinn vs. Kurt, and other catfights. Glee is
not exactly about music and celebrations and happiness. It is more of drama and
chaos and fights. Topping the list is the seemingly relentless Sue’s hate
against Glee club, most especially to coach Will. Glee’s New Directions members
have something against each other as well, like Rachel against Quinn against
Kurt over Finn, Finn against Puck over Quinn, and Rachel against Mercedes over
a solo. Not to forget, the memorable battles against other glee clubs like the
Vocal Adrenaline, Dalton Academy Warblers, and Throat Explosion. And most of
these fights came with gigantic and overwhelming splash of red slushie.

Brittany
S. Pierce is Stephen Hawking’s illegitimate child and other mind-blowing plot
twists. Another amazing thing about Glee is how each story unravels,
complete with unimaginable plot twists and revelations. How about the life
story of Brittany S. Pierce and how she resents having a name similar to a
singer, how she enjoys doing a YouTube show with her cat Lord Tubbington, and
how smart she is with mathematics all because she is the unknown child of
Stephen Hawking? How about Sue marrying herself and bearing a child by Michael
Bolton? Or pretty Quinn being once a fat and unpopular girl named Lucy?

Finchel, Furt, Puckleberry and other love
teams. Glee is never without its complicated tales of romance. They are
more than just love triangles since the tangles are quite twisted and messy.
And these pairs and couples come with quite interesting labels, such as Finchel
(Finn and Rachel), Furt (Finn and Kurt), Puckleberry (Puck and Rachel Berry,
Klaine (Kurt and Blaine), Bram (Brittany and Sam), and Samcedes (Sam and
Mercedes).

Finn’s
death and other heartbreaks. The show is also filled with some
heat-breaking moments and episodes. With Cory Monteith’s death in
real life, Glee offered a tribute episode where the character Finn Hudson was
laid to rest and the New Directions offered their farewell songs. What is
really good about the episode was that Finn’s death and burial was conducted
with respect, dignity and love. Other touching episodes in the show include
Kurt’s father Burt’s hospitalization and the club’s steadfast support, the gun
scare in McKinley High School where the club was stranded inside the music
room, the show choir competition where Quinn delivered her child at the end,
and the first graduation episode where senior New Directions finally bid
farewell to McKinley High.

Individuality,
equality, gender rights and other relevant messages. More than the
beautiful music and oftentimes-good-and-sometimes-bad stories, what is truly commendable
and memorable about Glee are their messages which simply touch and affect
audience. From time to time, they truly got serious in promoting personal
values and bringing to light certain social issues. In the first season,
embracing one’s person has been the highlight. As seen, the club was composed
of entirely different individuals with only one common love – music. This
message also went to rally against bullying in school. And in the succeeding
seasons, the Glee went home run on issues about gender rights and equality, family,
dreams and others.
